AI and Quantum Information Applications in Fundamental Physics

12 Feb 2023, 09:30 → 18 Feb 2023, 21:00 Asia/Seoul

Konjiam Resort

Data from particle physics is unique and challenging due to its tremendous size and complicated structure stemming  from its quantum nature.

The goal of this focus-workshop is to develop novel techniques for the future exploration of new physics, exploring exciting developments in the field of machine learning and quantum computing with quantum information.

The structure of the workshop is designed to survey the core questions in new physics searches and to stimulate intense discussion/collaboration among participants.
